Hi hazal,

For the first line I'd say: "Small persons talk about people" (just to avoid repetition)
What do you mean by "medium persons"? Average?

Yes average better. ''Small minded people talk about individuals, Average people talk about incidents. High-minded (intellectual) people talk about ideas.''

Hi Lilian,

We could replace the second ''persons'' with ''people'', you're right.
I chose ''medium'' for ''orta'', it means ''moyen/ne'' in French. I don't know if ''average'' would sound better...

Yes, I think 'average' is the best choice. I'll make those edits and set a poll, OK?

What do you mean?
Why can't you use "persons"?

"person" has two plural forms: people/persons

"Small persons" means hier "the people who know nothing."
